Los Angeles,
Further Distractions A trip to Los Angeles is probably not complete without a visit to America’s favourite theme park; even adults with a healthy cynicism about the Mouse might find themselves grinning. The park is divided into themed ‘lands’ – Main Street USA, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland and Toontown – each with a variety of rides and entertainment. Favourite attractions include the Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Star Tours and Indiana Jones Adventure. The fabulous Electrical Parade and nighttime laser light show are worth staying for. 1313 Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim Tel: (714) 781 4565. Transport: Metro Bus 460. Opening hours: Daily 0900‐2100 (until 2400 on Sat). Extended hours during summer/holidays. Main Street open from 0830. Hours vary – visitors should check. Admission: US$45. Knott’s Berry Farm America’s oldest theme park began in the 1930s, when Walter Knott built the ‘Ghost Town’ to entertain customers queuing for his wife’s boysenberry pies and chicken dinners. Today, there are several themed areas with shows and attractions, but the park’s biggest draw is its hair‐raising thrill rides, including Montezooma’s Revenge, Supreme Scream and Ghost Rider, one of the tallest and longest wooden rollercoasters in the West. 8039 Beach Boulevard, Buena Park Tel: (714) 220 5200.
